The cost for the GHIN handicap service is $25 and is renewed annually. Once you’ve registered and paid your $25 fee, your account will be activated and, starting April 1, you can begin posting scores. For new “handicappers”, there is an app that can be downloaded so you can post your scores from your mobile. GHIN registration will be open soon and you can start posting scores April 1.

Keeping a handicap is easy—just pay the fee, download the GHIN app to your mobile, sign in, and post your score—it’s that easy. 

A few things have changed though.  For instance, to post a 9-hole score, all 9 holes must have been played and scores entered hole-by-hole—for 18 holes only 10 need to be played and scores must be entered hole-by-hole.   The system will use the scores for the completed holes to calculate your most likely scores for the uncompleted holes.  Another important change is that a 9-hole score will not be combined with another 9-hole score before being used in handicap calculations.  Now, 9-hole scores are to be entered hole-by-hole and the system will calculate a differential for the other 9 holes based on the scores entered.  This is especially important for our 9-hole leagues as our handicap indices will be the most up-to-date.  That’s another reason for posting all scores immediately after a round.

GHIN Registration will go out through email in March.

If you have any questions, please contact me.  I look forward to seeing you out on the course!
